Suranjana’s research focuses on investigating genetic and activity-dependent mechanisms regulating cortical development in the mouse and fat-tailed dunnart.
Suranjana did an Integrated M.Sc in Biotechnology from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata, India (2013) and obtained her Ph.D. in developmental neuroscience from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India (2019). During her Ph.D., she studied genetic and physiological mechanisms regulating the specification & connectivity of the thalamus and cortex.
When she is not searching for intriguing patterns in the brain, Suranjana loves to dabble in painting, photography, sampling good food, traveling to new places, and science outreach!
